L'Ermitage Beverly Hills: WATG's Architecture and Landscape Architecture teams reimagined a beloved landmark hotel as a refined, contemporary expression of luxury, anchored by a rooftop destination comparable to the city’s most coveted venues.
“We reimagined the rooftop as a ‘garden in the sky’ – a fusion of European elegance and the laid-back California soul. By blurring the lines between the pool and terrace with layered greenery and curated textures, we’ve anchored the experience in a destination-driven culinary concept.” – Lance Walker, Managing Principal, Landscape Architecture
“The building began as a residential apartment property in the 1970s, so bringing it up to today’s hospitality standards required careful coordination at every step. As Architect of Record, we balanced code compliance, accessibility, and design intent while working within existing structural limitations.” – Greg Villegas, Managing Principal, Architecture
